If you just think only of the accomplishments, crashes, surgery and sacrifices. This guy flashed the Maple Leaf from Belgium to Japan. Made us proud. Incredible when you think of the lack of protection..leathers yes but no CE pads. No full face helmet. The boots had no hard armour. No tire warmers. etc.... Again...just fathom the incredible achievements M. Duff has done.
